C++Builder is Embarcadero�s advanced C++ IDE for building modern native Windows applications with high developer productivity. In RAD Studio 13.1 Florence, C++Builder includes C++17 Win32 Clang-enhanced toolchains plus an updated Win64 toolchain based on Clang 20, UCRT, LLVM/MinGW runtime components, LLVM�s libc++ STL, and versioned shared libraries. It also supports CMake command-line builds for Win32 and Win64, parallel batch compilation with --jobs, runtime packages, AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer, and improved debugging for Clang-enhanced compilers.

For UI development, C++Builder focuses on native Windows applications with both VCL and FireMonkey support for Win32 and Win64. The current matrix highlights Windows 11 and Windows 10 support, Windows 11-specific VCL styles, High-DPI and 4K support, Per Monitor V2 awareness, WebView2 integration, Skia-based controls, and UI Automation support for accessibility and automated UI testing.

Inside the IDE, C++Builder includes Visual Assist integration for better code insight, code completion, navigation, and refactoring, alongside clang-format-based C++ formatting, asynchronous LSP-based C++ code completion, and LLDB 20-based Win64 C++ debugging.
